12 "Lets grow Cocatris," (2/2)

So first thing to do is to feed them. Eat, chicken!

And laid out a monster named our vegetables in front of the chickens. Hey, do chickens eat soybeans? Was there ever a soy-based demon?

and vegetables in front of the cage, but they are spectacularly stunned. Hmm, this one might be tougher than I thought.

So, two days later, I went into town and bought something soy-like for them. I went into town and bought some soybean-like foods for her, but she didn't pay any attention to them. I also gave her some other food that looked like something a chicken or a bird would eat, but none of it worked.

I had no choice but to go into a nearby cave with Lily and I killed a giant worm and gave it to her, but that didn't help either.

By the way, this is the second dungeon in my life. I thought I was going to die just like last time. It didn't seem to help.

Maybe it's better to give up. They say cockatrices are a proud race that will die an honorable death if captured by humans.

”Oh, I knew it.

But I'm really stuck, though. It will drink water, but it won't eat food.

Maybe that's why she doesn't have enough nutrition and can't lay eggs. In other words, if she eats something, it will make her lay eggs, so it's all about feeding her.

Let's get it out of .......

I mean, hey, are you serious?

”This is another way to build trust and close the distance! If you think about it, in what world would someone become more likable while trapped in a cage? First you let them free and then skin-to-skin is common sense!

As soon as you let him go, he'll bite you.

You're right. But we don't have any other ideas.

You have to do it.

So you open the door of the cage and free the cockatrice.

You'll be able to get out of the cage, and the cockatrice will slowly wander out to stare at our garden.

Yes, it's still a bit weak at heart. The main chicken is noticeably less energetic than when I first saw it, and it hardly screams at all now.

If you look at the snake on its tail, it looks like it's gone limp. Isn't the snake worse than the body? He clearly looks weak, and because of that, the chicken part of him: .......

”Hmm?!

Now I've become aware of a possibility. No way this guy.

No, it's worth a try.

I'll hurry with Lily and I will go back to the cave to take some things.

By the way, I've left the guard and the chickens in charge of Dora and Jack.

I can't believe he's eating ......

Now, looking at the cockatrice in front of me, gobbling up the food we've caught, Lily is looking at it with a look of disbelief on her face.

Yeah, I can see that. I know that there are two surprises on that face.

One, of course, is that this cockatrice is eating food given to it by a human.

And the other is.

That's not true. The cockatrice wasn't a proud monster. It's just that we've been feeding on its tail, and it's a different kind of food.

Yes, what the cockatrice is eating right now is a rat-shaped monster called a baby rat, and it's swallowing it in one gulp rather than gobbling it up.

And the snake part of the cockatrice is swallowing it in one gulp rather than gulping it down.

This cockatrice was thought to be a chicken-shaped monster. The main body seems to be the snake one.

And you know the snake's staple food is a mouse. They wouldn't eat it even if you gave them food that a chicken would eat.

The cockatrice swallowed the food we gave it. The cockatrice was satisfied with that and let out a cry of thanks.

I'm not going to be able to tell the difference. If you feed him, he'll take to it.

Anyway, this gives me hope that it might lay eggs in the morning.

Conclusion. It was a male. That was an earlier issue.

Hey, lord, you should at least check that out.

Soon after that, a female cockatrice was brought in and laid eggs safely.

By the way, the male cockatrice was delicious.
